John Mellencamp - Gambling Bar Room Blues Lyrics
I went down to the corner
Just to meet my gal
I found her standin' on the sidewalk
She was talkin' to my pal
I strode back to the bar room
But the first thing I knew, I was reelin'
Rockin' and drunk again
Well, I kept on drinkin' gin and liquor
Way up into the night
When my pal walked into the bar room
Then, we had a terrible fight
I reached down for my razor
And then I knocked him around
But when I pulled my pistol
I went down to see my baby
And met her on the way
I told her I had to leave her
I told her I could not stay
I started down to the station
And stopped in at the bar
And there, I met a policeman
He was cruisin' out in his car
My baby came in to join us
And then it began to rain
And then I was in a hurry
I had to catch the midnight train
I laid my head in the bar room door
I'll never get drunk no more
I pawn my watch and my golden chain
I pawn my baby's diamond ring
I said, hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey, hey (Oh yeah)
Hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey, hey, hey (Let's go)

Love and lovalty of a French fan !
Anyone else going to his concert in illinois😀😀😀
But as always,, Great music, you r the man
love you John, quit playing small venues that only rich people can afford. Do you think your fanbase is rich? Thats an oxymoron
That's not an oxymoron.
A real rambling gambling blues - yeeeeeaaaaaah
Wow! LOVE this!! This is one fantastic sounding cover!! Really really awesome!!
Awesome album John, Had the pleasure of seeing your concert twice, last time being in Sudbury Ontario recently. The bio at the beginning was such a nice added touch. Been a fan since I bought the LP "Uh-huh" back in the day and will be til the box at the end calls me in. Thanks for a lifetime of entertainment!
Paul, Sudbury Ontario is a 40 minute drive from me, but I missed his concert, I could just kick myself, but I'm glad you saw it
Well said
